    Just beware often they don't even want the old car as scrap, it's more of a marketing strategy or standard discount. Ask if you actually need to supply a car!. In other cases where the scrapped was offered by hq often dealers could source a scrap car to be used for scrappage so you still did not need to supply any car! They typically don't want the car, it's a burden.

    What type of diesel car is it and what mileage is on it. It might be worth more than you think.

    You can see battery manufaturing date on the sticker (at the back, under the car), also this information usually recorded on Hyundai Service Database.

    Car is 2010 Renault fluence with over 150 km so worth nothing.

    Ah pity, sold 2012 octavia tdi 164K KM for €5500 private. Was offered €4500 on a trade in against a €15000 car. Incidentally in a hyundai dealership.

    It still would be worth something though if its clean with that low of mileage.

    What year is the Leaf. €5000 trade in seems very low.

    Yes very low price for a 2016/2 with 100,000 km.

    It is in very good condition as well with heated seats, 30 km battery and granny charger, charger for charging slow charger when traveling etc.

    It was VW that offered that price.

    I phoned a number I found online and the battery was changed for Kona July 2022.

    I wonder would the 49 km be from last year then on new battery?

    The distance travelled (miles on clock) won't be reset to zero when the battery is replaced. It will mean the battery should last longer and be stronger if replaced.

    Thanks that is good to know. So 7 years of warranty on battery also.

    It's seems a deal for €26,500 if that is the case.
